EOTech on one and an ACOG (USMC A4 model) on the other.

Shouldn't be that bad. 300m on an E-type should be about the size of a softball or so as a relative measure. I set the brightness only high enough to be just barely visible on target.

I was talking complete setup, not just optic

Top one is regular RRA 20" full profile bbl with MOE and a YHM sight/gas block. Bottom is mostly Spikes with a Troy Alpha over a 16" FN CHF M249 SAW blank barrel with a Griffin flashcomp. Both have RRA NM 2-stage triggers and big latch charging handles.

Will a magpul MBUS rear flip up work on this set up?

It will. If it were me, though, I'd catch a sale on a rear Troy flip up.

I don't see a different in sights. They have a hole for you to look through. That's it.

Not trying to be a douche but that relation can be used for anything. "I dont see a difference in cars, they all have an engine and four wheels". But I understand what you are saying to an extent. Some sights are far higher quality than others, ie Knights Armaments buis system vs the magpul mbus. They have different features for different applications as well (some are for cqb while others are for distance.

Back up iron sight drop test
quote:
In order to test whether certain popular BUIS would still be serviceable after taking a hard hit, I attached three different types of BUIS – Troy Industries, Magpul Industries and Diamondhead USA – to an AR-15 rifle chambered in .300 AAC Blackout weighing 7 pounds and dropped the rifle upside down from a height of 5 feet onto a concrete surface.
Other portions of the rifle were protected from damage, and each set of BUIS took a solid hit from the drop. The ammunition used was Remington Premier Match .300 AAC Blackout 125 gr OTM. Each sighting device was installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then points of impact was established from a stable shooting position at 25 and 200 yards. After the drop, the rifle was fired again, and any change in point of impact noted.
The first BUIS dropped was the Diamondhead. At first, damage appeared cosmetic only; however, the apertures could no longer be rotated, windage could not be adjusted, and there was a definite cant to the BUIS. Point of impact shifted approximately 16 MOA. We contacted Diamondhead with this result. They replied that a newer version was available which was more durable. We offered to test the new model but production issues meant they could not ship one to us.
Next came the Troy sight. Cosmetic damage was apparent, but the sight could still be operated normally. Point of impact shift was approximately 3 MOA.
The last set of BUIS was the Magpul MBUS. Damage was purely cosmetic and the sight remained fully functional. Point of impact shift was less than 1 MOA. Unlike the other sighting devices, a second drop was performed. Results did not change, and the sight remained functional.
quote:
One thing I did not mention in the post which was sent to KitUp (due to word count limitations) was that after dropping the MBUS twice, I picked the rifle up, held it over my head like the maul I used to split seasons’ worth of firewood while growing up in Alaska, and swung it down on a concrete shooting table, with the MBUS taking all of the impact. It did not break or shift POI by anything more than 1MOA.

See. I was going to mention the mbus study also but got lazy.

I guess I'm about to build my self an AR. Peer pressure has gotten to me
Posted on 2/21/15 at 5:18 pm to chesty
I wonder how repeatable those MOA shifts would be? I'd still take the Troys. But to each his own. I've got both and both get the job done. Although I'm really wanting to swap out my MBUS on my 10.5 with some FDE Troys.

The Troy sights definitely look the best and are considered the Cadillac of BUIS but the Magpuls are just as good for less than half the price. All depends on how "high end" you want your AR to appear. You have to realize that most of the guys building $2500 plus ARs are doing it because they enjoy accessorizing and often use the best looking parts over the most functional parts.
